If we could get Gentle then great, but i think with the clubs that are looking at the mo, we may just be priced out of it.

Not as head coach but wouldnt be surprised to see Warren Jowitt involved somewhere.

Lets face it we are only talking about one of the top 14 jobs in this industry in the northern hemisphere!!!

we shouldn't be waiting to 'see who applies' we should target the man we want and make them an offer...

I would be targetting Brian Smith, Peter Moore, John Lang or as a bolter; Steve Georgialis*

(*I know he just accepted a role at Wests... but a head coach position is surely more attractive than that of assistant?)

That's exactly the point I've been making all week; we should be adopting a bit of swagger, showing some confidence and approaching the man we want with a decent offer; if he's getting touched up by others, find out the deal and go one better.

This appointment is probably the most important decision of the Glover era; it's got to be the right man, even if it eats into the playing budget.

Consider this - would you rather have an army of lions led by a sheep, or an army of sheep led by a lion?

Are they angry sheep?

the lions would eat the sheep surely....

Unless these sheep have been trained as an armoured division, my money is on the lions.

Have to say the lion army get my vote too, unless the lion in charge of the sheep builds a dry stone wall accross the battlefield and instructs the sheet army to jump it one after each other thus leaving the lion army too sleepy to fight.

Cummins or Harris would be progressive appointments imo. As a wildcard how about the return of one Ellery Hanley !

Your user name is not borne out by your suggestions.

Very droll about the sheep and their armoured division etc; the point remains though - without a great leader, the best players you can assemble will not play good rugby - just look at Hull with Mr Bean/Agar in charge.

mitch brennan anyone!!! wooooooooooohoooooooooooooo
